Early in the morning, I was picked up by the old man, dragged me to the deep mountains, and walked around in a daze.

"Do you remember all the road you have just walked?" The old man said.

"Remembered." And then, what to do? Early morning exercise for my memory?

"Follow the path you just walked, run me twenty laps! Don't be lazy with me, old man, I have a lot of counts! ”

Twenty laps! Just now we walked a long way around the mountain, at least a thousand meters! I used to be able to run eight laps in the school playground, not to mention the rugged roads in the mountains, which was killing me!

Without waiting for me to speak, the old man urged him: "Your kid's body is too weak, if you want to gain a firm foothold in this industry, this mountain is far away from the world, and the aura is strong, which will help your cultivation, if you want to grow, just do what I say!" ”

I really need to grow, I want to make myself stronger, not only to avenge the revenge of the fourth aunt and Zhang Haozi, but also for Sister Yan!

I no longer complained, listened to the old man's words, and ran along the road I had just walked.

Running in the mountains is a completely different feeling than running on the playground, and you have to pay your full attention, otherwise you can easily hit a tree, not to mention the potholes along the way.

I ran over and over again, and the old man sat on a dead tree trunk, holding a gourd and drinking freely.

The first few laps were full of energy, but by the eighth lap, I was as tired as usual, hot and sweaty. Aside from fever, I've almost never sweated so much in the middle of winter.

I didn't take my breath last time, and said to the old man, "No...... No more...... Whew......"

I only heard a sound of breaking through the air, and the feeling of skin opening suddenly came from behind me, and I shuddered, and turned my head to look at it suddenly. I saw the old man Ma holding a wooden stick in his hand! There's no reason, I'm wearing so thick, why does it hurt so much.

I noticed a spell on the end of the stick! That's the problem!

"Run!" The old man couldn't help urging, and raised the wooden stick to make a gesture to pull it down again.

I was so excited that I ran forward and ran another lap desperately, and I was shocked in my heart, I never thought that one day I would be able to run to the ninth lap! It's amazing!

However, after running the ninth lap, my legs were completely trembling and weak, and I couldn't lift any strength, and my chest seemed to be at the limit, and I couldn't breathe in any more air.

My face at the moment must be extremely ugly, and I was completely speechless, so I could only watch the old man Ma gesticulating hard, indicating that I really couldn't do it.

Syllable! The scorching pain exploded in my back, and I had to grit my teeth and continue to run forward, I didn't know how I got my feet, my legs were completely unable to lift any strength, and my chest was also in pain. The eyes were dazzling, the colors gradually receded, and the vision was gray.

I didn't know how far I had run, how long I had been running, and the pain in my back was again from the thrashing, and I fell to the ground with all my strength completely lost.

The world in front of me is gray, the limbs are so tired that they are unconscious, and the feedback to the brain from all over the body is only two words: uncomfortable!

Last time, I didn't catch my breath, I was desperately gasping for breath, and my chest hurt even more.

Syllable! I shuddered as the stick hit me again, but I didn't even have the strength to get up.

The old man's disdainful and angry voice came into his ears: "You are too weak!" It's only halfway through, and it's not going to work! ”

I actually ran half of it, ten laps, and I couldn't believe it......

The rooster crows, and the people of the village get up in the morning to work. I came back from the mountains with the old man, I struggled to walk on my heavy legs, followed behind the old man, and the twenty laps were not finished after all. Old man Ma was so angry at my performance that he probably didn't expect me to be weaker than he thought.

Tu Yi had woken up, moving his muscles outside the house, and when he saw my appearance, he said suspiciously, "Why did you go?" ”

I can only smile bitterly.

The old man called me into the courtyard and said, "You don't have the strength in your feet, but you still have the strength in your hands, I won't embarrass you, give me thirty push-ups, and then come in for breakfast when you're done, you kid is too weak, I have to make a new plan to train you." ”

It turned out that he was really training me with his heart, and I thought that he asked me to run those twenty laps to avenge my revenge for hiding the origin of the plan. But this push-up, I usually have a maximum of twenty ......

I did twenty-four of them tirelessly, but I really couldn't do it, and the old man Ma became more and more angry, and his whole face darkened.

"How can Lao Chen take a fancy to you kid!" He said indignantly.

After eating breakfast, the old man Ma said: "Your kid's health is really bad, not only related to the fact that you have a ghost curse, I estimate that your kid didn't learn well when he became an adult, eating, drinking, and having fun, and he had all five poisons, so he caused his body to be like this!" ”

He said it, and I smiled bitterly with shame.

"Your kid can't have a good body, his brain is quite smart, I'll teach you to recognize the charm in a while, and I'll learn to draw a talisman for me today!"

Empty the table in the living room, and send the figure out again. The old man took out blank rune paper and pen and ink, and took out a stack of runes with different patterns.

"Drawing talismans is a popular witchcraft in Lingnan Fangshu, this talisman is also divided into good and evil, there are many uses, not one by one, in short, you have to remember that all the witchcraft that kills is evil art, and this talisman is the same!"

I nodded, but I was a little absent-minded, and while the figure was not there, I asked the old man Ma, "Why did you bring the figure here?" ”

Old man Ma's face turned cold: "If you don't bring it, it's even worse to leave him outside, that kid is the master you met in Hainan." ”

"You know?" I was a little surprised.

"When I was in the car, I guessed the hesitant look on your kid's face! Gu Xiaomei's white beauty was also eliminated by him! Old man Ma said.

I didn't say anything, but it was a tacit acquiescence.

The old man looked at my appearance, and said meaningfully: "That kid is capable, and he knows evil arts, he must have a great background, let you be careful of him, so that you don't alarm him, offend him, and don't be with him, so as not to go astray." ”

"After all, he saved me twice, and if it wasn't for him yesterday, I wouldn't have been able to survive you guys by myself." It was the same in the vine forest before, and if it weren't for him, I would definitely die. Moreover, he also did me a great favor and collected Sister Yan's ghost. I thank him from the bottom of my heart.

"Now that you are a friend of him, you naturally think that he is reliable, and when you become an enemy one day, you will know how tricky he is, since you are my apprentice, you can't stand on the wrong side, you are bound to take the right path!"

Old man Ma didn't pick too clearly, but I already understood what he meant, if Tu Yi is really a sideliner, he and I are destined not to be the same way.
